Dismantling of HLW pilot cell in APM building n˚214

Design, development and implementation of a remotely-operated carrier

Background

To prepare for deconstruction work in building 214 of the Marcoule pilot workshop (APM), the CEA set up cell 419 as a demonstration workshop in which to test remotely-controlled processes which would be deployed to dismantle other high-level activity cells in the building.

After having carried out the preliminary design phases for the deconstruction of this building, Onet Technologies was chosen by the CEA to develop a remotely-controlled carrier capable of performing the demolition work inside the hot cells.
